Global model ensembles are in strong agreement that a prolonged &anomalous nearly West-wide autumn heatwave will develop this week & persist for 10+ days. While some daytime records may be set, this event will be more notable for its persistence & breadth. [Thread]

He thanked you by name in his speech, and since interviewing you for @theopennotebook.bsky.social it was especially resonant to hear this. #editing #editor @sciencewriters.org @sciencewriting.bsky.social #SciWri26

Recruiting @kakape.bsky.social as a writer, back in 2011, was probably the best thing I have done at @science.org. Kai is one of the best science writers of his generation, and I'm thrilled his work is getting the honor it deserves. casw.org/news/kai-kup...

Who knew I would find #seattle music nerd reference in review of novel "The Disappearers?" A character turns away from Reggae to grunge and says “Sad Seattle white boys,” he deposes, “are teaching me how to live.” Hello @dwightgarner.bsky.social #grunge www.nytimes.com/2026/08/30/b...

This Masterpiece Is the Novel of the Decade, if Not the Century

Marlon James’s story of gay experience and murderous homophobia in Jamaica is a maximalist’s banquet — and the Booker Prize winner’s finest book yet.

My son forgot his keys on his second day of high school so he was locked out of the house, and he solved this problem by... getting Frankenstein from the Little Free Library down the street and then hanging out in our lobby reading it until someone came home

Attention Ecologists! We are going to need *a lot* of ecologists. The First Lego League Teams need to speak with a scientist about their projects every year. Every year it's a different type of scientist. Last year was archaeologists. This year, ecologists! Sign up: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

A fish is a teacher, wearing a button-up shirt with a collar. He says "Volunteer to speak with classrooms in front of a chalkboard that says "Skype a scientist needs YOU!". A snail on his desk says Help! And a shrimp says "Lego league is coming!" and a nervous seahorse says "this year's theme is ecosystems"

If a fish was a schoolteacher would they wear a short sleeve button up shirt and a tie, or JUST a tie?
